The
servants
be
hanged
,
"
said
Sir
Pitt
;
and
his
son
thought
even
worse
would
happen
were
they
deprived
of
the
benefit
of
his
instruction
.
"
Why
,
hang
it
,
Pitt
!
"
said
the
father
to
his
remonstrance
.
"
You
would
n't
be
such
a
flat
as
to
let
three
thousand
a
year
go
out
of
the
family
?
"
"
What
is
money
compared
to
our
souls
,
sir
?
"
continued
Mr.
Crawley
.
"
You
mean
that
the
old
lady
wo
n't
leave
the
money
to
you
?
"
--
and
who
knows
but
it
was
Mr.
Crawley
's
meaning
?
Old
Miss
Crawley
was
certainly
one
of
the
reprobate
.
She
had
a
snug
little
house
in
Park
Lane
,
and
,
as
she
ate
and
drank
a
great
deal
too
much
during
the
season
in
London
,
she
went
to
Harrowgate
or
Cheltenham
for
the
summer
.
She
was
the
most
hospitable
and
jovial
of
old
vestals
,
and
had
been
a
beauty
in
her
day
,
she
said
.
(
All
old
women
were
beauties
once
,
we
very
well
know
.
)
She
was
a
bel
esprit
,
and
a
dreadful
Radical
for
those
days
.
She
had
been
in
France
(
where
St.
Just
,
they
say
,
inspired
her
with
an
unfortunate
passion
)
,
and
loved
,
ever
after
,
French
novels
,
French
cookery
,
and
French
wines
.
She
read
Voltaire
,
and
had
Rousseau
by
heart
;
talked
very
lightly
about
divorce
,
and
most
energetically
of
the
rights
of
women
.
She
had
pictures
of
Mr.
Fox
in
every
room
in
the
house
:
when
that
statesman
was
in
opposition
,
I
am
not
sure
that
she
had
not
flung
a
main
with
him
;
and
when
he
came
into
office
,
she
took
great
credit
for
bringing
over
to
him
Sir
Pitt
and
his
colleague
for
Queen
's
Crawley
,
although
Sir
Pitt
would
have
come
over
himself
,
without
any
trouble
on
the
honest
lady
's
part
.
It
is
needless
to
say
that
Sir
Pitt
was
brought
to
change
his
views
after
the
death
of
the
great
Whig
statesman
.
This
worthy
old
lady
took
a
fancy
to
Rawdon
Crawley
when
a
boy
,
sent
him
to
Cambridge
(
in
opposition
to
his
brother
at
Oxford
)
,
and
,
when
the
young
man
was
requested
by
the
authorities
of
the
first-named
University
to
quit
after
a
residence
of
two
years
,
she
bought
him
his
commission
in
the
Life
Guards
Green
.
A
perfect
and
celebrated
"
blood
,
"
or
dandy
about
town
,
was
this
young
officer
.
Boxing
,
rat-hunting
,
the
fives
court
,
and
four-in-hand
driving
were
then
the
fashion
of
our
British
aristocracy
;
and
he
was
an
adept
in
all
these
noble
sciences
.
And
though
he
belonged
to
the
household
troops
,
who
,
as
it
was
their
duty
to
rally
round
the
Prince
Regent
,
had
not
shown
their
valour
in
foreign
service
yet
,
Rawdon
Crawley
had
already
(
apropos
of
play
,
of
which
he
was
immoderately
fond
)
fought
three
bloody
duels
,
in
which
he
gave
ample
proofs
of
his
contempt
for
death
.
"
And
for
what
follows
after
death
,
"
would
Mr.
Crawley
observe
,
throwing
his
gooseberry-coloured
eyes
up
to
the
ceiling
He
was
always
thinking
of
his
brother
's
soul
,
or
of
the
souls
of
those
who
differed
with
him
in
opinion
:
it
is
a
sort
of
comfort
which
many
of
the
serious
give
themselves
.
